One... Two... Three

At this point, adrenaline is not just running through my veins, it has fully replaced my blood. I've been working like a mad woman on actualizing a passion project these past few weeks so I thought I would take a nice vacation. Ahhhhh... wouldn't that be fantastic if I had time for that? In the meantime, I've decided to try an emulate relaxation mode by sporting this dress I picked up in Bali. A nice breezy light cotton dress makes for a good pretend mental vacay. 

PS - I'm all island out - my bracelet is from Boracay, Philippines. 

Oh yeah, it's a true vacay outfit now, homies.

Date night with the hubby - sexy time, oh yeah! Ew, TMI, Marie. TMI.  For a split second I wanted to get all dolled up and go to the gorgeous Meritage at the Claremont in Oakland. A couple of hours beforehand, I realized I wasn't in the mood to play dress up. All I wanted to do was be with Mikie and talk, laugh and just hang at a casual romantic restaurant. And that's exactly what we did, my friends. It had been too long since we had a solid block of time, and so we exchanged stories, food and kisses. 

I love that man so much. 

Romance is alive and kickin.

Event hopping calls for layers. 

This is where all my Man Repeller stalking comes in handy - Leandra is a layerin whiz! Of course, my layering skills are much more conservative and tamer that hers, at least this time around. 

Walking around in the cold going from place to place, I started soff fully loaded (uh, not that kind of loaded - that comes later in the evening ;) ). Layers are all ON. I always view my outfit in its layered stages since once  I'm at the events, and consume a couple glasses of Proseco, I slowly peel off each layer. Cue stripper music. Not!

Jacket not pictured. D'oh.

Ya know my long kimono hot pink vintage jacket? Imagine that over le outfit. 

Now, good job using your imagination, kiddies :)

Drive By Shoot.

Taking disco, disco to the sunshine with my fun lil sequin sweater top - aw yeah!

A little daytime sparkle, never hurt anyone!

In fact, it adds a lot of smiles... smiles that say uh, where's the dance floor cray cray?

Well shoot, if they be thinkin that already, I'm gonna add some vavavoom red lips, layer on some lace, a fun little teal skirt and hot red little stilettos and BAM! My theory is if you keep adding more crazy to the crazy, well then, it doesn't seem so crazy now, does it? So ta da!

Orange You Blue?

*I apologize for the delay, this outfit is from yesterday*

I took my daughter, Daisy, to Gymboree today and 

Oh. My. Gawd. The babies were obsessed with me. 

I was thinking to myself, aha! they recognize a good mama when they see one - that's why they're all crawlin, waddling and walking on over  to hang with me.

Turns out they were all just jonesin my major neck bling! 

Oh ego, why must you think everything is about you. Le sigh.

Several tiny hands were reaching, grabbing, playing and pulling my necklaces - yikes!

But alas, the lil angels did not a break a single strand - *phew*.

Next time you want to attract babes (as in babies - duh!), you know what to do.

Oh My Bra!

I was pacing back and forth in my undies this morning, trying to figure out what in the world should I wear. When all of a sudden, I looked at my reflection and said Eureka! An Oh My Bra inspiration hit me. As much as I'd like to show you what the twins like to cruise around in, I thought better of it, and would rather much verbalize what lead me to today's attire. Think black bra, hot pink straps, white floral lace and a dainty pink ribbon. That's all I needed to get me a pickin' and sortin' through my closet to come up with this fun lil combo. :)

Just remember ladies and gents... inspiration can come from anywhere, even your underwear! So go out and make sure you've got some fine pieces of cloth coverin' up yer goods. It may someday save you.

aaaaaaannnnnddddddd.....
